Liza and Jack approach the bench again. The judge sides with Jack and the questioning of the witness continues. He asks if Nick has ever seen the man before. Ryan enters the courtroom and Nick yells that he’s the man. Nick saw Ryan at 9:00 PM and David’s time of death was 9:10 PM. Jack says that isn’t the logical conclusion that Ryan Lavery killed David?
